Firefighters tend to the burning wreckage of a 55th Fighter Group P-38 at Duxford, England. The aircraft was flown by a
78th Fighter Group pilot and had buzzed the field before crashing into a truck and catching fire; the pilot was injured and
the truck driver killed

If ugly could win a war, Pearl Harbor would never have been attacked.

If ugly could win a war, Pearl Harbor would never have been attacked.

I (in my less-than infinite wisdom..........) actually think it's a neat 'n' tidy looking aircraft. - a bit like a single-tailed mini-Mitchell. I think there was a solid-nose option, which would be better-looking. Of course, the 7B is a LOT prettier than that other Douglas product, the B18..........

and a lot uglier than the DB7/A-20/P-70 series aircraft from the same stable.

and a lot uglier than the DB7/A-20/P-70 series aircraft from the same stable.

It was the progenitor of the A20 - the wings and tail were retained, married to a new fuselage, with the wings mounted lower.
.... and I still like it

I don't think it's so ugly. The nose section reminds me of a Bolingbroke.

Ok. I looked again. I haven't changed my mind. But, I love the looks of the A-20.

When my dad was at Itami, he said it was an A-20 base then. Somewhere he's got some pics of the planes parked out on the flight line.

One shift of workers leaving the Lockheed Aircraft Company plant at Burbank, California, on December 4, 1939, before another carries on with the work of building bombers for Britain. Aircraft companies of the United States are working double shifts turning out scores of planes for the British Air Force. On completion, the planes have to be flown to the border, pulled or pushed across to Canadian soil, before exportation to Britain.

In (somewhat half-hearted) defence of my opinion, here's the solid-nose version:

This is definitely her better side.

 

[Warspite63]

This is definitely her better side.

I will admit that the bombardier nose looks like it came off an early-30s French bomber (no, that's NOT a compliment...)

Here Zippy, maybe a nice A-26 will make you feel better. Always reminds me of the movie Always...
